Let Your Life In!
August 25, 2008
Knock Knock…
Who’s there?
Your life… let me in!
Lamenting how you’d like to have more room for your life? Perhaps you’d like to entertain spontaneously or actually enjoy a weekend without thinking about how much you need to get organized or even find everything you want with out frustration. Sounds good, doesn’t it?
Catalog by catalog and shoe by shoe, your clutter is stealing your space from you. Want to let your life back in? Then lighten your load!
When you’re trying to trim your stuff, instead of thinking of it as “letting your things go”, think of it as “letting your life in”.
With every square foot of stuff you move out, there is the possibility for more breathing room. You’ll have easier access to the things you really love and efficient use of the things you need.
Space-tacularly,

I found your blog today and I love this idea of letting your life in. I know exactly the kind of person I want to be, but it’s been so hard getting there-This whole year, I’ve been cleaning out and organizing, and it feels like it will never end. All of the reasons you mentioned ring true for me. I would love to have people over spontaneously, or go to bed without tripping over stuff on the floor. I find that it’s easier to let go of stuff if you don’t give yourself time to think about. I never would have donated my Williams-Sonoman picnic basket if I had even 5 minutes to think about. I just ran aroud the house, grabbing stuff for 15 minutes, threw it into the back of my truck and sped off to Salvation Army. When I saw it all in the receiving garage, it didn’t look like much. Then I remembered how much space it was taking in my apartment, and I wanted to kiss that man for taking my crap! Thanks for your inspirational thoughts.
I was inspired by this one, too. It always helps me stay motivated when I keep my eyes on the positive aspects of a project rather than the negative.
Thanks for commenting!
